p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The childminder is pro-active in raising the standards of the service she provides to children and parents. Since the last inspection, she has worked closely with the local authority to gain regular support and access relevant training, such as safe recruitment of assistants. This collaborative working enables the childminder to form an accurate view of her practice and how she might achieve identified goals. Support from the local authority is ongoing. Safeguarding is effective. The childminder knows how to identify and respond to children at risk of harm. Children settle into the provision with ease as the childminder gathers necessary information about their individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a sound knowledge of children's individual personalities, interests and needs. She uses her observational knowledge and accurate assessment of the children to plan activities that motivate their learning. Planning is more focused since the last inspection, and learning outcomes are identified to support individual children. For example, the childminder successfully uses children's popular books and favourite activities, such as role play, to help children learn across all areas. She is skilled at making resources to match children's learning needs and offers easy access to additional resources to extend their ideas for play. The childminder plays alongside the children and models learning effectively. Children increase their vocabulary, for example as they describe size and shapes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave very well. They learn to manage their emotions and express their feelings. Children relish all opportunities as they are praised for their effort and their achievements. The childminder undertakes regular assessments to keep children safe. This extends to including children in regular evacuation drills and in learning about road safety when out in the community daily. Children are closely supervised and understand how their actions can keep them all safe. Children develop their self-help skills, for example as they remove their coats on arrival and when using the toilet.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress and gain the skills they need for their next stage in learning. Older children develop strong early writing skills, for example as they engage for long periods to draw pictures and practise copying their name. Children enjoy books and re-telling stories in their own words to others. Children learn about problem-solving, as they access a range of puzzles and learn to recognise values of numbers. They develop strong social skills, such as how to make new friends, through their regular attendance at the childminder network group each week.
